So I have this cat called mocca, she isn't nice, she doesn't like to be picked up and obviously don't mind scratching or biting me if needed to. She is not that difficult actually, she let me pet her and I usually able to cut her claws whiles she's asleep.
The thing is, she is very afraid of other people and basically the outside world. A week ago I brought her to the vet cause it's the time for her vaccine booster. Well, turns out that was a very big mistake on my end, the vet scares her so much she goes into fearful aggression, and the vet is well I should say not very experienced with aggressive cat. When I got home I noticed one of her back claw bleeding, she won't elt me touch it but she is doing fine generally, she eats well and doesn't limp, still running and jumping, but I got concerned so today I brought her to a different vet, making sure the vet is experienced with aggressive cat.
So turns out the claw was still there, it's not torn but probably she hurt some part of it do it's now inflamed, vet gave antibiotics etc, and I need to give here antibiotic cream on the claw. I also need to put the cone of shame because she licks a lot.
Well the thing is I can't put the antibiotic cream, she screams wiggles scratches too, she is also very smart and won't let treats make up for what I'm doing to her, burrito didn't work, she wiggles out of it, she won't let me held her down anyway to warp her in a burrito. Also I did this with my brother, he is the one who aply the cream and holding the back paw and I'm the one holding her body and front paw. It only worked once and idk how to do this anymore, I'm afriad I'll hurt her too if I hold her too tight to prevent her from wiggles out of my hold, she literally screams so I was afraid I'm hurting her. At this point idk what to do anymore I feel like she won't trust me anymore after this but I also need to apply this cream or her claw won't heal, please help me I'm so stressed out by this.
